Their intense encounter leaves them questioning whether they can keep their passionate affair under wraps or if it's time to bring their relationship into the light.

This time Quentin didn't send instructions, just a ticket to the theater. Alone in our private box, it took all my energy not to make too much noise as I lost track of what was happening on stage...

Quentin snuck us into a gallery opening under new names. We wandered away from the crowd and he made it it clear we were there to explore more than the art.

I thought working on a farm in Ireland would be peaceful. Were it not for Ronan, it might have been. What started out as frustration quickly turned into tension I couldn't ignore, and by the time we were in his cottage, all bets were off.

I’d never been to that club before, but Andrés seemed right at home. He grabbed my hand and led me through the sweaty crowd towards the rooftop...

Even though it was Nat's day off, he still wanted to work for it. So, instead of fighting the urge, I laid back and let him explore my body... twice.

I wasn’t looking for a surf lesson. But when Skye asked me to paddle out I couldn’t say no. I’d been looking for a way to clear my head after my breakup and his smile was infectious.

It was my last night in Portugal and I wasn't leaving without shooting my shot. I made the first move and then Ezra took me to his secret cove on the beach. I almost forgot we were there to watch the sunset.

I couldn't get Aviva out of my head, so I asked her out again. After we ended up in the restaurant bathroom together, it was clear the feeling was mutual.

This time around it's Carla's turn, and Freddie is under her control. He tries to play it cool at first, but now it's his turn to say "mercy."

Carla and Freddie meet up regularly. But how they choose to spend their time in the dungeon is always a surprise. And this time Freddie wants to play a game of "mercy".

Tiff bailed on our boxing class, but my mood shifted as soon as I met the instructor. Noah’s calm confidence was so infectious, I signed up for a private lesson after my first few classes.

When Jane is invited to a dinner party by the charismatic visiting professor Adam, it sparks a delicious tension with James. As the night unfolds, their simmering rivalry reaches a boiling point, leading Jane and James to sneak away for a very secretive and very risky tryst.

I could tell Noah had been taking it easy on Alexis, so when he couldn't make their private session I decided to step in. She wanted someone who was gonna test her limits and I wasn't afraid to take her there.

Forbidden Lessons: When Jane sneaks into Professor James' empty lecture hall, their secret relationship reaches a thrilling new level. In the dimly lit classroom, they explore the power dynamic of student and teacher. With the door locked and the stakes raised, James takes control, blindfolding Jane and administering a playful punishment for her 'tardiness.' As their roleplay intensifies, Jane surrenders to James' dominant energy. But how long can they keep their off limits lessons a secret?

Moving across the country isn’t exactly easy, so when Josie connected me with Leo I was honestly just relieved to know someone there. But when a rainstorm stranded me at his place, I started seeing him as more than a friend...

I wasn't expecting Milo at Michelle's engagement party. It had been years since our breakup, but when I saw him my breath caught in my chest. And when we went back to his place and he pulled out a blindfold I was just as surprised.

This time, Quentin’s instructions are simple. Be on the street corner in hiking boots and be ready. Nadia does as she’s told and finds herself and Quentin naked in the park, trying to muffle their moans so the passersby won’t hear. Will they get caught this time?

Back at the hotel, Jada wants Mateo to pretend to be a stranger, a rough stranger. They meet at the bar but quickly find themselves upstairs where there are only two rules: No names, and no holding back.

Nadia and Quentin are strangers with a shared interest in adrenaline. Each week they plan to meet in a new place. And this time it’s at the public library, but Nadia has a hard time keeping quiet...

Jada and Mateo return to the hotel, this time for an intense role play session. At Jada's request, Mateo takes the role of a therapist – with a bit of a sadistic side. Listen in as he analyzes, degrades, and punishes her just the way she wants.

After my ex moved out, it was time to make the house feel like my own. I could handle most of the work on my own — As a Leo, I’m used to getting the job done. But I needed to hire a contractor to help with the deck. When he started fixing extra things I didn’t ask for, I found myself getting pissed at him for no reason at at all….

Alan and Jessa used to be close. But when a series of promotions goes to his head, the friendship between them calcifies into competition. A weekend away with their company turns up the tension, until it finally bubbles over in the wine cellar.

I’d been going to the same lake house for years. It was my private little getaway, just me and the water and the sun – until this trip. He caught my eye while he was cutting the grass, and then he left a little surprise on my doorstep. When we finally ran into each other down by the water, I couldn’t resist.

Chris had been playing it cool for a couple of weeks. So when he called I wanted to take back some control. I told him I picked out a new toy…we’d talked about pegging before, but it was finally the perfect time to try.

Jonathon and I had promised each other we'd keep it professional. But when we were in a room together, the tension felt so palpable, sometimes I swore our colleagues could feel it. And when he started texting me during a meeting, I just couldn't resist.

The thrill of being with Arush was getting harder and harder to resist. I knew I was playing on the edge–my boyfriend was in the next room–but I just had to hear his voice...

When Jane sneaks into Professor James' lecture, it's a dangerous game of cat and mouse. But the thrill of almost getting caught by his department head only fuels their desire more. Behind the locked door of his office, James playfully punishes Jane for her risky behavior. Teaching her a lesson she won’t soon forget…

I wasn’t sure about getting on dating apps. Corny quotes and sending emojis to strangers isn't really my thing….but when I matched with Aviva, I had to rethink my stance.

As a Cancer, I'm usually the one taking care of other people. But on my vacation, I wanted to do something just for me. So I booked a massage on the beach and being taken care of felt better than I could've imagined...

Mateo and Jada book a hotel room once a month to reconnect. But behind closed doors, they go way beyond romance. Listen in as they tap into their inner dominant and submissive sides: Mateo can't wait to tie Jada up, and she loves when he talks dirty.

After a long day of decision making, Jada is ready to let go of control. And Mateo has the perfect surprise–a blindfold and ball gag. Listen in as he shows her his dominant side and gives her exactly what she wants.

5 years have passed since Sophia and Theo made their pact to meet back in Montauk. They’ve both found themselves, but the question lingers -- will they find their way back to each other?

Rosie and I weren’t really in touch after we hooked up. But when I saw her dancing with Andrés, I felt a hot wave of jealousy flare up. So when she stopped by late one night, I didn’t hold back. I needed to prove I was the one she really wanted...and I knew she liked it rough.

Fresh off a breakup, Sophia isn’t looking for love. But when she heads out to her friend’s beach house for fresh air she meets Theo. At first his ego throws her off, but as the week goes on she starts to see that they have more in common than she thought…

After a whirlwind week together, Theo and Sophia have caught feelings. They make the most of their last few days together...and on the final night make a secret pact.

Follow Theo’s journey after the beach house. It’s a few years later and he’s finally fallen for someone new. When his heart gets broken he doesn’t back down, he fights for the love he wants. Only to realize it’s still Sophia on his mind…

I hadn’t seen Jordan in years, but I never stopped thinking about him. So when I moved back to my hometown, I knew it was my chance to finally make it happen. The fiery Aries in me wanted to suggest we play our old game…but he beat me to it.

I knew what I should tell him. That I needed to leave this coffee shop. That we shouldn’t be seeing each other. But listening to him was like hearing my most secret thoughts recited back to me. So I kept my lips pressed tight and leaned closer.

I’d been working for Teddy for a few months, but we only ever chatted when his kids weren’t around. He was always buttoned up around me, maybe even a little guarded. I secretly wanted to know what he was really like, but I never actually thought I’d get the chance…

I went back and forth on if I should go. Willow had invited me to her art show, but she was my kid’s nanny. I couldn’t have feelings for her…right?

We’d talked for hours over the past two days of the train ride. But now we sat silent in the observation car, looking out the windows instead of at each other. But when I finally glanced up…he was watching me.

I grabbed his hand, his palm soft in mine, and led him back to my room. He touched me softly, like his hands were asking each part of me a different question. And my body answered yes again and again.

Alyssa was leaning against the bar, smiling at some guy sitting next to her. I closed my eyes, trying to ignore the hot feeling burning in my chest, resisting the urge to get up and get between them.

I met Collin in our Salsa class, but we didn’t know each other well. He knew I was a beginner. And I knew that he was...not a beginner. So when he asked me to dance, it felt like I’d won something. Like being chosen meant something more than just one dance together.

A few weeks back, I saw Rosie leave the club with Collin. He was a little cocky, but one of the best dancers in my class. So when she asked me for a private lesson, I was ready to prove myself. I knew I was the better partner, but I'd have to work for it.

Louis from Virgo Season has a backstory. Listen in as he visits Teresa, his artistic Aquarius muse, in Mexico.

Cape Cod is such a ghost town in the winter. I wasn't expecting to run into anyone, especially him. When he showed up at my door, I wondered if we'd replay what happened last summer...

Get cozy under the covers with Des and Henry on Valentine's day while they revisit the story of how they met.

I didn’t plan on getting to know her. The last thing I needed was someone telling my ex I was hanging out with one of the summer tourists. I tried to keep busy on the boat and in the shop, but I kept running into her...

I’d always found a reason not to get that tattoo. But as soon as I stepped into the studio, I felt comfortable with Nick. It was like he already knew me…or like he could see who I was trying to become.

I miss you so much, I wanna be with you right now. Why don’t you tell me exactly how you’d touch me? And then I'll tell you exactly what I'll do to you. Please, baby...I wanna hear you say it.

Crash Des and Henry's New Year's Eve party. Then listen in when they sneak away to their bedroom right before midnight.

When Whitney gets snowed in with her friend Leo, her resourceful Capricorn side takes over. But as the weekend goes on, she finds she can’t plan for everything…

In true Sagittarius fashion, Dani’s up for a challenge. But when she hires Eric as a personal trainer for her climb up Mt. Rainier, she gets more than she signed up for.

I'd seen William in movies, but in person he was even more captivating. So when he gave me a ticket to his show, I didn’t ask for a second one. I didn’t tell him I had a boyfriend…I didn't want him to know.

I loved hearing about your first time with him. I want you to touch me just like he touched you. Let's take it real slow at first, but then I want you to get rough just like he did.

Our lives are different since the baby came. But lately, somehow everything feels right. Since we have the day to ourselves, I want to do whatever makes you feel good.

After pilates class, I couldn't stop thinking of the instructor's strong hands on my body. By the time I got home to Bryan, my body was charged with the feeling of her and...I needed a way to release it.

I’ve never done anything like this before. 24 hours ago he was just my coworker, but now I’m standing in my pajamas outside his hotel door.

When Jordan's flight gets canceled the night before Thanksgiving, he heads back to his apartment for a night of TV and takeout. But his roommate Ines has a better idea...

At first we didn’t talk about how we were seeing other people. Honestly, I figured the conversation was off limits. But then Sam started asking me questions…and I was happy to answer.

When she told me she didn’t want to sleep together on the first date, I was surprised. But if she wanted to wait…I could wait. I’d do whatever she asked.

I was a little nervous since it was our first time at this “adults only” dinner party. But the look that Lukas gave me said, “Whatever happens, we’re in this together."

When Leo invited me to the book signing, I was scared to commit. Like my 'yes' might set something in motion between us I couldn’t stop. But I found myself walking between the shelves that night, the familiar smell of crisp hardcovers and old wood floors washing over me.

I tried to push away the memory of that night. But it felt impossible to focus on work with her desk right across from mine.

We talked for what felt like hours as the bonfire burned in the distance. He must’ve been a lot younger than me, but he drew me in, wrapping me in his stories.

Someone called my name from across the dance floor. I knew it was my ex without even turning around. I liked to play hard to get with him, so I kept my eyes fixed on the masked stranger.

I’d been feeling some pain during sex with David. I was planning to find a solve, but he jumped in first, surprising me with the perfect solution.

Fresh from defending her thesis, Jane slips into Professor James's lecture one last time. Their intellectual connection has always simmered with unspoken tension, but now, free from student-teacher constraints, that tension ignites. A celebratory visit to James's office quickly turns heated as years of repressed attraction surface. As they explore their newfound intimacy, Jane and James must navigate campus gossip and professional risks. With their academic reputations and careers at stake, will they dare to pursue a love that could cost them everything they've worked for?

My old roommate Caroline was always a mystery to me. When I moved out, I thought I’d never get the chance to figure her out. But New York heatwaves have a funny way of bringing people back together.

I liked the quiet routine of our Sundays. But our mornings weren't just coffee and reading the newspaper. Sometimes Ellie would wake up early and surprise me with me some new rituals...

I always knew Nat would make it big. She had that star power from the start. Or at least she had a power over me.

Working on the ranch all summer, Heidi and I got close real fast. But it wasn’t until I saw her talking to Lee by the barn, that I realized how deep my feelings really ran.

She headed back into the barn, making a big fuss of draping her arm over Arlo’s shoulder. I knew she was trying to make me jealous…and it was working.

Cass doesn’t like playing games or getting played. So, when Elliot comes to her apartment, she’s crystal clear about what she wants and how she wants it.

I was dating someone else, so I thought I was over Sasha. But seeing her at the wedding made me question myself. What did I really want?

Allison’s a true Virgo. Hardworking, focused, intense – she’s not used to being challenged. But she meets her match in Louis, a rule breaking artist.

When she asked me about pegging, I didn’t have to think too long. I wanted to know how sex felt for her. And I wanted her to take complete control.

Some people wanna do the relationship thing: shack up, adopt a dog…But that’s not Cass. She’s more interested in exploring than settling down and when Zane’s in town she gets her chance.

After spending the night at Zane’s, Cass heads to the bar to look for her credit card. Instead, she finds Elliot. She’s used to being in control, predicting each step of the dance, but he’s different.

Elliot can’t stop thinking about Cass. When she drops by the bar again, he gets his chance to get it right.

The best part about summer in a beach town is that there’s no schedule. My only plan is to read, swim, and maybe flirt with the oyster man down at the docks.

I’m so used to the gang of guys, all that banter, the buzzing razors. It’s strange in here when it’s empty, I wonder if it will feel different between us? I usually play it a bit coy, but it’s low stakes when there are lots of people round.

Mornings at the dog park are my favorite time, there’s an unspoken rule that there’s no talking before coffee. But this dog’s cute owner has me rethinking that…

He led me by just a few fingers through the dimly lit hallway. I could hear the sharp smack of a paddle and the soft clanking of chains just beyond the walls. I tried to stay grounded in my body as I walked into…whatever I was walking into.

I checked my phone at a freakish rate all week, like my brain no longer controlled my hand. Just tapping and scrolling over and over again, hoping for a single message from her. And then...finally, “My office. 9 pm?”

Things are finally quieting down on the base. I have the room to myself tonight, so I wanted to return the voicemail you left me. And I can’t wait ‘till I’m on leave next month. We’ll get to celebrate your birthday right.

What if we…skipped our dinner plans? There’s something new I want to try with you and I can’t wait any longer.

We’ve been so close for so long now. I’ve always thought of him as a friend. But now he's crashing on my couch. And we're reminiscing. And, oh man, am I falling for him?

It was hard for me to fully let go in the bedroom. But I knew if there was someone I could figure it out with, it was Paul.

After a conversation with friends, Will and Jo realize there's still something in their relationship they haven't tried..And tonight they want to explore together.

In med school, I was too focused on studying to think about dating. But James was on my learning team, so we spent every waking hour together. We kept it professional, until that rotation when the adrenaline took over.

The more senior we get in the hospital, the harder it is to find time for those impromptu romps in the on-call room. But when we do, it’s always pure passion.

Mark’s leading a yoga retreat upstate, so Laura and Diego tag along. When Mark and Laura sneak away from the studio, sparks fly between Diego and a fellow yogi.

For a friends with benefits thing, I wanted there to be more...benefits. We connected emotionally, and he was smoking hot, but in bed I wanted to get a little more experimental. Now that he’s back in town, I’m tempted to try again.

The first road trip together as a couple can be a real deal breaker. But with Alex, I had to stop myself from saying those three little words before we even started the car.

The crowd at Julie’s party is overwhelming. But I’m really vibing with this personal chef she hired. I work up the nerve to invite him over to cook at home with me next week.

When a huge earthquake hits Mexico City, Jessica and Santiago bond quickly. When it's time for Jessica to fly back home, she realizes she wants to make a bold move.

My friends had weighed in so much on my last relationship, it felt easier to keep things with Nick to myself. I didn’t mean for it to happen, but slowly he became my fun little secret.

We haven't seen each other in years. Is this one of those classic New York things, running into the ex you still think about? Or is it a sign?

He got security to put me in the front row right up against the metal barrier. I've always been turned on by music, pretending I'm the women in the songs I listen to. It's one of the reasons why I can't help but relive that night at Bonnaroo over and over, even in bed with someone else.

Eavesdrop on Des and Henry as they spend a lazy Sunday in bed.

I crushed on Leah so hard in high school, but it wasn’t until we both moved to New York years later that we ended up falling in love. People say marriage can mess with your sex life, but trying for a baby has set us on fire.

Des and Henry build a piece of furniture and, inevitably, things start getting tense. Listen in as they work it all out on the living room floor.

Listen in as things get rumbly in the laundry room, where Des and Henry spontaneously get into some good, clean fun.

What if I gave you a little early birthday gift? Hook up with someone when you go out tonight, if you're into it. The only rule? I want you to tell me every detail.

A writers' retreat was the perfect antidote to my post-breakup restlessness: hours of silence, endless nature, and an anonymous love note pinned to my door.

I take the first driving shift up to the hot springs. The roads are slick with snow, but I feel calm with Gabe sitting shotgun. I wasn’t expecting him to be so—actually, I don’t know what I was expecting.

Danny was always Margot’s biggest fan. When they reconnect over email he finally gets the chance to be with his favorite riot girl IRL.

Wanna play a game? The only rule is you have to be someone new. If you’re in, meet me at the open house on 83rd and Columbus. Oh...and wear that suit I like.

Listen in on Des and Henry working on their first home. They break down a wall, then break in the kitchen.

Be a fly on the wall as Des and Henry paint the bedroom (and each other).

After Laura and Mark hook up, she wonders if she can ever go back to her favorite studio. But a few days later when she’s desperate for a good workout, she decides to take her chances and return to class.

After they hook up, yoga instructor Mark isn't sure if Laura will ever come back to class. He's excited when she does, but struggles to center his mind.

First time hitting the slopes in two years: check. First time flirting with a stranger in at least 3 months: check. First hookup on a mountain: check.

It’s not weird for me to fall a little bit in love with a different stranger every day. My new hot neighbor, or a woman on the subway. But I have a soft spot for baristas. I think the fantasies are mostly fueled by caffeine. Except with Eli. Eli was real.

He reaches across the small space between us and takes my hand. I feel a pang in my stomach when I think of how little time we have left together. A few hours?

Maybe an hour into the flight I grab the blanket under me and start spreading it out. Trying to be casual about it. I slowly reach to move his arm towards me, and rest it on my thigh.

The van's a little rickety, but I think we'll make it to Moher. Even if we breakdown somewhere in the Irish countryside, we’ll still have fun. That’s why I love him, everything’s an adventure.

I look at myself with the curiosity and distance of a stranger. Running my hands down my body, I picture Charlie wrapping his arms around me.

I switch on the table lamp, stand back. Too bright? No, it looks better. She’ll be home any second, and I’ll be sitting here on the sofa on my phone. I’ll look up slowly when she walks in, as if I haven’t been waiting for her.

Just want you to know, I’ve been thinking about you. All day. Can’t believe I’ll see you tonight. Ten days is too long.

He starts playfully walking his fingers up and down my arm. I want to take my hands off the keys, but I’m already addicted to this game. He tilts his head to whisper in my ear, his dark stubble brushing up against my neck.

Every once in a while I’ll sneak a glance back at him. He’s watching me, rapt, through the phone screen.

We'd settled into a routine in our relationship, but Danny always found ways to make it feel new again.

I see a familiar look of ecstasy fall onto Noah's face. I know it so well, but it’s different from a distance.

It's after midnight and I'm one of the few stragglers still at the library. I get jolted out of a daydream by...Matt. So I'm not the only one here on a Friday night.

We've been sitting in total darkness for over an hour. Maybe I’m building him up in my mind since I haven’t had a real look at him in such a long time, but I had to stop myself from staring in the couple seconds we were together before the lights went out.

Without someone there to translate for us, we can barely speak. Good thing eye fucking is kind of an international language.

I said I'd shoot his headshots as a favor to a friend. But I'm thinking I need to re-evaluate my generosity. He walks into my studio in blue jeans, scuffed white sneakers, and a black v-neck. Ok, he’s pretty. And once I have him in front of the lens, I'm flooded with memories.

I walked you to the door, but we only shared a hug goodbye. When I got home I couldn’t sleep. I wanted to call you, text you. I felt like I’d missed a turn I wanted to take.

We walk into our treehouse villa feeling like we’ve stepped into a different universe. As I head down to the beach, I catch a glimpse of the insanely attractive couple on the deck next to ours.

Everything about it felt new. The feel of his beard on my face, his longish hair in my hands. The taste of his mouth. Reckless. Strange. Fun. Intimate.

Ever since we broke up, my dreams have erupted into color. I wake every morning reeling from strange fantasies. Sometimes I’m not sure exactly what is real and what’s not: sights, sensations, these feelings for Cam.

Cam shot me a tiny, one-sided smile. Like we were the bad kids at the table, or maybe like they were the adults. I felt her foot brush mine under the table and wondered if it was an accident.

We'd broken up four months ago, but I couldn't get Ben out of my head. So I called him and made it clear...this time it would be no strings attached.

To have my hands on her again, a streak from the pottery wheel smudged on her thigh, is heaven. To see him after all these years, smelling like clay and old memories, brings it all right back.

I’ve been checking him out for weeks, and tonight he’s the only other person to show up for our group run. We push each other, farther, faster, and when the run is over, I know I'm not ready to say goodbye.

After the first day of class, she asked me to call her by her first name instead of "professor". Something about the way she smiled at me, using just her eyes, made me feel like she wanted me to wonder about her.

I think I have my boyfriend's surprise all figured out. I just hope he hasn't caught on that I'm in on the game this year.

I see her across the tent as soon as I get there. If my life were a movie, everyone else’s faces would be blurred except hers. It's been five years since that sophomore year, and it still feels like I’m constantly aware of where she is in a room.

After five days of hiking solo, a group catches up to me on the trail. They're all fun, but I can't take my eyes off of Jules across the campfire. He's older, and sexy, and I can't really focus on anything else.

Usually it's so quiet up here, but tonight the rooftops surrounding us are buzzing with people. I mentally calculate the chances of someone spotting us if I were to make out with Marcus right now, or reach into his shorts.

I should've just splurged for my own ride home. We haven't even gotten out of midtown yet. I catch a whiff of him before I see him get into the car, like a luxury candle I'd buy at Barney’s and then return out of guilt.

I love seeing you in your element -- holding court with our group of friends. But all I can think about is getting you alone again.

We skirt the orchards, chatting as we get to the edge of the forest by way of the farm's greenhouse. Isabel walks into the shade, and I lose sight of her as I wait for my eyes to adjust. I pat the dried mushrooms in my pocket, working up the nerve to ask if she wants to take them.

Every so often, you have one of those nights you just can't make up. When you meet someone amazing, or decide to just go with the flow and it all works out. The memory instantly becomes larger than life, and in the moment—all you can do is savor it. That's how I felt when I met Ellie.

The first year we came to a Summer Scream night, we'd only been dating for a few months. We were crazy about each other, and we were shameless. I sip my cold beer and glance at Ollie. People we pass keep checking him out. It used to make me jealous, but now it kind of turns me on.

I can’t quite keep track of the conversation, especially after she slides her hand into my back pocket and squeezes my ass. I wrack my brain for a place we could go to get away from these crowds of people.

No one looks good in a chef's hat and chef's whites. It's just a fact. But I guess this guy operates outside the rules? I try to focus on the pile of carrots in front of me, but it's not easy.

Laura joins a new yoga studio and finds herself in a class run by Mark, a former-marine-turned-yoga-teacher. One night, Laura is the only student that shows up to class, and gets Mark’s full attention.

I drift between waking and sleep, searching for you in my dream, then finding you solid, real, and naked beside me in bed..

Remember when we talked about love languages for like, 3 hours? Well, since yours is obviously gifts, and I'm not going to get to see you for three months, I planned a little something.

I only meant to be five minutes late. Five minutes late shows that you’re casual, in control. Twenty minutes late and you start to worry about the guy leaving the restaurant before you get there...

We keep joking about this being a first date but...is it? Or are we more in one night stand territory? I'm starting to suspect that she's my dream girl, so I hope I get to stay.

It’s been a long trip, and we’re pretty close to getting to the hotel. I’m rubbing my hand up your thigh, and you swerve a bit as I slip my hand into the front of your jeans.
